chfields Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I'm just curious, which search engines are eating 30G of bandwidth???? I have google, alexa, looksmart,etc and never had more than about 500K in a whole month and they are on my site almost daily.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quicklyshop Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 No success. Using robots.txt and baning all search engines did not simply work I am still under attack 65.214.36.117 Quote I can't type a trick like i can type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

networkdad Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 You could always add a 'deny from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' in your .htaccess (if you use it), but i would take burts suggestion...and hit up ask jeeves. On a side note...are you killing all SID's - I imagine that might be part of the problem, unique SID's are being assigned to ask, and therefore it thinks it keeps finding more unique content.
